reflection
this memory verse Acts 17:26 it means that god and man biuld it up and they can destory it with a touch of a button. god did put us on this earth to die someday and mabye if they know what thier doing they might die tommorow. god made man to build a country were they are very royal to amercains. who ever thought that someone would build a canal so that they could bring supples in and out of panama without going around the canal. yes it did take some time but, it turned out really well.
